In the early morning of the next day, Wang Li, the Patriarch of the Wang Family, arranged a meeting in the main chamber of their combined residence in the Three Peaks Alliance. The chamber was adorned with intricate tapestries and glowing crystals, casting a serene and powerful ambiance.
Wang Li sat at the head of a large, round table, his posture relaxed yet commanding. Opposite him sat Xia Bingling, the Matriarch of the Xia Family, and Song Jingyan, the Matriarch of the Song Family. Despite the intimate encounters they had shared just the night before, all three wore serious expressions, ready to discuss the important matters at hand.
"Patriarch Wang," Xia Bingling began, her voice smooth and authoritative, "you called for this meeting. What is it that you wish to discuss?"
Song Jingyan nodded, her eyes curious. "Indeed, we are eager to hear what you have to say."
